Keratin 16 (KRT16 in human, Krt16 in mouse), a type I intermediate filament protein, is constitutively expressed in epithelial appendages and is induced in the epidermis upon wounding and other stressors. Mutations altering the coding sequence of KRT16 cause Pachyonychia Congenita (PC), a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hypertrophic nail dystrophy, oral leukokeratosis, and palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK). PPK associated with PC are extremely painful and compromise patient mobility, making them the most debilitating PC symptom. In this study, we show that, although inherited in a recessive fashion, the inactivation of Krt16 in mice consistently causes oral lesions as well as PPK-like hyperkeratotic calluses on Krt16−/− front and hind paws, which severely compromise the animals’ ability to walk. Our findings call into question the view that PC-related PPK arise exclusively as a gain-of-function on the account of dominantly acting mutated keratins, and highlight the key role of modifiers in the clinical heterogeneity of PC symptoms.
